Project Description
This project focuses on advancing technology for the well-being of older adults (65 or older). We will use smart home and wearable technologies to study a novel system that aims to assist older adults to remain independent for longer (i.e., age-in-place). This project is part of the HomeSHARE initiative: https://crihomeshare.wordpress.com/.
Technology or Computational Component
Students will work on implementing, testing, and conducting user studies of a tablet app that allow users to see and explore their own data (from a wearable and smart home sensors).
